You would normally have the entitlement to drive vehicles in this category if you passed your car driving test before January 1997, car tests taken after that date would not have the additional licence category and would therefore require further tests.

A lot of trainee paramedics will also require this licence.

Once you have had your medical you will need to apply for your provisional vocational licence.Once your licence has been approved and returned to you your theory test can be arranged, the theory test is made up of two parts; the multiple-choice part and the hazard perception part. The multiple choice part is delivered using a touch screen computer and mouse and the hazard perception part records your responses through the use of a computer mouse button.You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test. If you pass one part and fail the other you will fail the whole test, and you will need to take both parts again.The questions in each multiple choice test vary according to the category of vehicle you are hoping to obtain a licence for, i.e. a motorcycle theory test will contain specific questions that do not appear in any other test.For the hazard perception test there are no separate versions for different vehicles, each vehicle category takes the same test, however the pass mark is different for different categories of tests.If you have and questions please click here to view our FAQ’s
